I have never seen so many ex-cons dressed up in one place. I wonder if the tour will continue when Kevin T. goes to prison? It's so funny how many old dead players came out of the wood work. Their are a hundred road players that would crush alot of those old timers, wonder why they got a spot?
IPT cons.

You are a real POS. <15 posts, almost all degrading or antagonizing. In the immortal word of VAP:
F-U-C-K O-F-F!!!!!!
Learn how to spell before you criticize someone else. But then you are probably too stupid to ever know what your mistake was.
Kevin Trudeau had a Christmas party and invited 43 of HIS best friends. In January, or perhaps February, he is going to have another party and will INVITE 150 of his best friends.
Evidently you are not included in that number.

Despite the fact that you have demeaned some of pool's legends by calling them "dead players," I will do my best to take your position seriously and respond.
First of all, let's dispel the myth that they were invited as a reward for their service. It's a beautiful thought, but Trudeau is a businessman, and I'm sure had just two things on his mind when he opted to invite the Hall of Famers: 1) the fans of the game would look kindly on the gesture, and 2) the presence of the Hall of Famers would add electricity to the event. I believe he was correct on both counts.
In the same way that Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus, once their skills had diminished, still added to the charm of any golf tournament they played in, the old-school hall of famers offered a similar touch of charm to the IPT event in which they played.
Still, the proposed model that will be used by the IPT, in which 50 qualifying spots will be made available annually based on a qualifying tournament, will be very much to your liking. This methodology, simlar to that of golf, ensures that those with the desire and the skills to compete at the highest level will also have the opportunity. So, all those world beaters you're referring to will get their opportunity.
This IPT event was a novelty, but for my money, it was a well-staged and successful novelty.
The many greats..
What a great way to kick off a new tournament, bring in the Hall of Fame'rs. It made me proud to see the respect given to them.
This post reminded me of what I intended on posting yesterday but did not get around to it. Seeing everyone looking very professional and snappy gave me a great feeling about things to come. The players looked well groomed and the place looked so clean and, well, just perfect.
This is how pool at especially a professional level should be portrayed. Great job and great presentation. Makes you feel proud to be a pool player. Thanks to KT and a huge thanks to the many pros and HOF's for excellence.

The process ...
Everything has a process, and everything within it unveils
itself in due time. AND, everything will not be PERFECT the
first time out. Keeping that in mind, lets hope what needs to
be fixed will be fixed in due time. Great 'road players', why because
you saw them play great 1 time? These guys will get their chance
through qualifiers, etc. down the line. If they are truly a great
player, then they will rise to the top. I think it is commendable of
KT to recognize the great players of the game that have already
established themselves. He is putting on a better and classier
production of a Pool tournament than any have in the past.
Quit criticizing him because things are not just perfect to your
way of thinking. He is a businessman, and a multi-millionaire,
and he will tweak his tour in the future. What have you done
for Pool lately?

Spetty, I'll wager that he can't afford the $35 ticket yet he is going to tell KT how to run it. I hope you picked up one of those CD's KT was giving out.
Kevin is a powerful speaker. Well prepared. Surrounded by highly technical, intelligent staff. A real class act.
But he may move his next production somewhere else because the Florida Convention Center sells such terrible food.

I don't know what country you live in, sir, but Kevin Trudeau lives in America! Where rich, white men never go to prison.

Guessing you didn't hear that from Michael Milken, the Drexel junk bonds superstar whose income exceeded $600,000,000 in a single year before the Drexel bubble burst. He got ten years for racketeering. I remember this well because I attended his trial in 1989 and was there when he was sentenced in a Federal Court in NYC.
iconcue said:
No, I wasn't, but one of my close friends, who had worked there, was in the process of writing a book about the fall of Drexel. He was covering the trial, and I joined him on a couple of occasions. No, I don't now Milken, whom I believe to have been working out of the California office of Drexel back then, but I did know one of the lesser defendants in the Drexel case, whom I prefer not to name.
